This course trains participants to tell clearer stories with comics. This is the 3rd class in the series. You can start with this class, however, watching the earlier two classes first is recommended. In this class, participants will:
<ol>
<li>Learn different approaches to drawing comic characters.</li>
<li>Learn the basic principles behind constructing comic panels.</li>
<li>Learn how to vary the pace with comic panels.</li>
<li>Understand the design of a speech bubble.</li>
<li>Learn how to draw 4 types of speech bubbles and when to use them.</li>
<li>create a mundane conversation scene as a short comic.</li>
</ol>
After this class, participants will gain more confidence in drawing out conversation scenes whether they be short scenes or part of a longer story narrative. 
The materials chosen for this class are kept simple. We'll use mainly pen and color pencil. However, you may use alternative materials you are familiar with. Do keep it to a black lines tool and a mid-tone fill color. -------------------------------------------- Andrew Tan (aka Drewscape) is a freelance illustrator and an Eisner-nominated comic artist based in Singapore.
